Re: Britain should accept immigrants for free trade deal, senior Indian diplomat warns

You would think that our continuing Aid to India would guarantee our relationship. Obviously not, that's the thanks we get.

Re: Britain should accept immigrants for free trade deal, senior Indian diplomat warns

Hi

It is the UK which is seeking the Trade Deals, not others seeking a Trade Deal with the UK.

The UK is not currently a priority for India, it is far more interested in developing the ASEAN Agreement.

The UK only amounts to 3.3% of India's exports, they have bigger fish to fry.

In that case we can stop the Aid.

Ever feel like Britain's been grabbed by the short and curlies?
One long arm from the EU ..now one from India.

Re: Britain should accept immigrants for free trade deal, senior Indian diplomat warns

The government pledged, in public statements, to stop financial aid to India by the end of 2015-16. But it continued to give indirect aid to India, including £30m for technical assistance and £40m for “development capital investment”, Icai found. Britain’s aid to India has been £283m since 2011.

Re: Britain should accept immigrants for free trade deal, senior Indian diplomat warns

Hello? Hang the aid budget which is going to wind everyone up. The point is that they are not saying they don't want a trade deal, they are saying it will take ten years(!) to negotiate.

Where does this leave us if all the countries we want a deal with take years to reach agreement?

You surprise me Purwell .. I'd have thought you'd want all peanuts to go into our own Welfare state .. instead of into India's welfare.
